Getting Started With Vroom

Start With The Vroom App

The free Vroom app makes it easy to bring learning into the moments you already share each day. After adding your child’s age, you’ll receive simple ideas designed for routines like meals, playtime, errands, bath time, and bedtime.

THE FIVE BRAIN BUILDING BASICS

Five Ways That Children Learn

Children’s brains grow through everyday moments of connection, conversation, play, and curiosity. Long before children enter school, they are already learning from relationships, routines, and the world around them.

Vroom’s five Brain Building Basics—Look, Follow, Chat, Take Turns, and Stretch—turn early learning research into simple actions families can use throughout the day. During meals, errands, playtime, bath time, or bedtime, small interactions can help build language, confidence, problem-solving skills, and strong foundations for lifelong learning.

Everyday Moments Matter

Bringing Vroom Tips Into Your Day

Look

Children use their eyes to learn. See what catches your child's attention and talk about it. Or connect eye-to-eye, then smile, chat, hug, or make funny faces!

Chat

Children's brains light up when you talk, sing, or make sounds back and forth with them. Chat about your day, food, and what's around you, or string sounds together for a fun conversation!

Follow

Young children learn best when you follow their lead. Tune into your child's words, sounds, movements and ideas! Then respond with your own words and actions.

Take Turns

Children learn from taking turns when you play, talk, or explore. After they go, take your turn. Then repeat: they go, you go, they go, you go!

Stretch

Children's brains grow strong when you help them stretch their learning further. Keep a moment going: ask your child a question that starts with what, when, where, how or why!
